Submission instructions

All papers must represent original and unpublished work that is not currently under review. Papers will be evaluated according to their significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop. We welcome the following types of contributions:

  • standard research papers (up to 8 pages, plus more pages for references if needed)
  • short research papers (from 4 to 6 pages, plus more pages for references if needed)

Submissions must be anonymous and strictly follow the LREC2020 stylesheet formatting guidelines.

All papers should be electronically submitted in PDF format via the main conference platform via START (track ResT-UP).

Share your LRs!

Describing your LRs in the LRE Map is now a normal practice in the submission procedure of LREC (introduced in 2010 and adopted by other conferences). To continue the efforts initiated at LREC 2014 about “Sharing LRs” (data, tools, web-services, etc.), authors will have the possibility, when submitting a paper, to upload LRs in a special LREC repository. This effort of sharing LRs, linked to the LRE Map for their description, may become a new “regular” feature for conferences in our field, thus contributing to creating a common repository where everyone can deposit and share data.

ISLRN number

As scientific work requires accurate citations of referenced work so as to allow the community to understand the whole context and also replicate the experiments conducted by other researchers, LREC 2020 endorses the need to uniquely Identify LRs through the use of the International Standard Language Resource Number (ISLRN, www.islrn.org), a Persistent Unique Identifier to be assigned to each Language Resource. The assignment of ISLRNs to LRs cited in LREC papers will be offered at submission time.

Proceedings

Proceedings for workshop papers will be submitted for inclusion in the conference proceedings and
published by the European Language Resources Association (ELRA).
